Chronicle of the City of Leipzig

Leipzig - from 1015 to today

Calendar 2018 – Living in old Leipzig

The new, historic calendar for 2018 inspires with images dated from 1866 to 1920. In keeping with the motto, "Living in old Leipzig around 1900“, it shows how Leipzig's inhabitants lived around the turn of the century.

As one of the most important industrial and commercial locations, the city's population increased dramatically in the second half of the 19th century. At that time, former suburbs developed into up-and-coming neighbourhoods. Representative residential buildings and villas reflected the wealth of the factory owners and merchants.

The Leipzig Calendar is published by "Leipzig Tourismus und Marketing GmbH" (Leipzig Tourism and Marketing GmbH), in cooperation with the Stadtgeschichtlichen Museum (Museum of City History, Leipzig). It is available for just 19.00 Euros here:
